Descendants of the 600,000 Americans who lost their lives in the war to end slavery demand $100 billion in reparations from descendants of slaves... particularly from Robert Smith, Oprah Winfrey and other deep-pockets AA targets.

This.

Plus, a post 1964 freedom tax, an “affirmative action” tax, a welfare reimbursement plan, all plus interest

Offering people unqualified to attend college a college education might be problematic, no?

Throughout history how many races and nationalities were sold into slavery or became slaves when they were conquered by the likes of Genghis Khan, the Pharohs of Egypt, the Romans and the list goes on. Every time a nation was conquered, the victors made slaves of the vanquished! How many Jews did Hitler slaughter? How many slaves in the US were killed?

Liberals would be well advised to read world history and the Bible for a change instead of Liberal propaganda.

From the performance and capabilities of "educated" millennials I have observed, this is already happening.

ExTexasRedhead :" Liberals would be well advised to read world history and the Bible for a change instead of Liberal propaganda."

That is why Common Core doesn't emphasize history
That way, the ignorant don't learn about their ancestors' struggles, or that the ancestors were captured and sold into slavery by other black tribes of Africa.

Why? Georgetown did nothing illegal at the time, and there is a little thing in our Constitution about “ex post facto” laws.

Well that act of kindness came back to bite Georgetown’s do-gooders. Apparently, these “descendants” would rather have the cash than the education.

It would be a much better place if it were just shut down and given away - to these people or just about anybody except the Jesuits.

Not only did Georgetown do nothing illegal there is a good chance those slaves were bought by other blacks.

There were THOUSANDS of blacks who owned slaves. There were 3,000 in New Orleans alone. There were black slave breeders. They sold their own offspring.

And there were thousands of whites who never had a slave.

Let’s not forget the the man who took his indentured servant to court to have him made into a slave. He was black.

The first US census to have a separate line for each person was 1850, but slaves' names were not entered (there was a line for each one giving age, sex, and whether black or mulatto, but the space for the personal name was left blank), so genealogy for slave descendants is more difficult than for descendants of free persons. So it may be hard for someone who is a genuine descendant of one of the slaves sold by Georgetown to document the descent. So I wonder if Georgetown is going to allow flimsy evidence (like "family tradition") to qualify someone for money?

It worked for Fauxcahontas...
